Gail Blanke Throw Out Fifty Things
Motivational speaker, life coach and best-selling author Gail Blanke challenged a sold out crowd to get rid of their physical and emotional clutter and live happier, more confident lives on Sept. 10, at Merrimack Hall. Gail's presentation, based on her new book "Throw Out Fifty Things," was a refreshing reminder to clear the "life plaque" that builds up thanks to physical clutter, regrets and grudges. The goal, she said, "is to be free to move forward with energy, optimism and a bold spirit." View more photos from the event.
